I had Endometriod Adenocarcinoma Stage 1A, Figo grade 2. I initially didn't require any treatments, but had a reoccurance 7 months after surgery and had 28 external beam radiation treatments and 3 high dose brachytherapy ones. For me the external beam ones were very quick and simple. I had plenty of gastrointestinal issues from them and the 3 brachytherapy ones were given after about a 10 day break. They were not painful but awkward and lasted much longer than the external beam ones. I believe mine were about 14 minutes each. Thankfully there were only 3 of them. I finished mine in December and just had my first followup with my Gynocological Oncologist and am currently awaiting the results of my tests. I also had positive pelvic washings but wasn't initially treated with radiation. I wish you well and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi cmb2022 -

Thank you so much for sharing your story here. It sounds like we had the same diagnosis. My doctor is recommending 4 brachytherapy treatments based on the positive pelvic washing result. They did not recommend external beam therapy for me. Would you mind sharing if you experienced the vaginal "sunburn" I am reading about?

Thank you again - I very much appreciate your information and support.
